I am rebuilding a 3CB from parts and have a couple of questions.
1) After I scrape all old cement out of grooves is there a solvent I can use to clean things up and remove dust and ash residue from the surface so that the cement bonds more directly with the cast iron?
2) Should I use adhesive on all gaskets including the ones in the doors ( ash door and front door )?
3) Is there a way to tell if the baffle plate needs to be replaced?
Any suggestions on rebuilding this stove are appreciated.
Thanks Rob
